Q&A with the Original Owner of my 1986 Legend

[@RADGarage]

You really deserve a TV series. What you have been able to accomplish as an enthusiast is absolutely remarkable. I love following your journey.

[@TysonHugie]

That means a lot Rick! And likewise!

[@btrdangerdan2010]

What a wholesome full circle moment ! Thanks for sharing

[@TysonHugie]

For reals! Unexpected but fun.

[@victorblock3421]

You hit the jackpot and so did Ron, a true enthusiast. It’s obvious he’s quite pleased the car found its way to you.

[@TysonHugie]

I agree, I'm glad we got connected randomly via this project

[@iantuttle2084]

How cool! What an opportunity to meet someone that took a chance on car from a brand new division and to hold on to that car for so many decades! I can't wait to see it in the celebration coming up.

[@TysonHugie]

Thanks Ian :)

[@MrMrdlegend]

That's cool you were able to meet up with the original owner and get the back story and some nice original items. I've done the same with a few of my cars and was always met with an original owner who was so happy I had contacted them

[@TysonHugie]

Definitely, I bet he never thought he would hear about the car again

[@kc-xb9dr]

I had an '87 Legend 4dr. Owned it for 20yrs. Bought it in Monterey, when we had an Acura dealership on the Peninsula. Love the car.

[@TysonHugie]

That's awesome! And I love Monterey

[@pietsprock]

It’s allways a pleasure to follow your journey ❤

[@TysonHugie]

Thanks for tuning in :)

[@michaelokezie9910]

This looks and sounds like this was an awesome opportunity. You just never know what treasures can be found by simply connecting with others. Good stuff!

[@TysonHugie]

Couldn't agree more. Thanks Michael!

[@acura2g]

This is a special episode. I've always wanted to know what it was like to purchase a car the first year of the brand in 86'. It must have been wild for Ron to cruise the streets in a brand new Legend back then.

[@TysonHugie]

Right? Would have made for some fun gas station conversations

[@atmartens]

That’s crazy! Such a beautiful color and he did take a gamble. Heck I don’t believe buying the first year of a new generation but buying a brand new whole make is wild.

[@TysonHugie]

Totally agreed!

[@AcuraAdvice]

A Legend, EM1 and a 6 speed Accord? Ron sure knows what the good stuff is!

[@TysonHugie]

That's for sure!

[@KingCarlofcarlWorld]

Thank you, Tyson, this is awesome!

[@TysonHugie]

@@KingCarlofcarlWorld hey thanks for watching it!

[@joshuawick5382]

That’s an awesome story! Just remember that $10,000 dollars back in the mid 80s is over $30,000 in today’s money.

[@TysonHugie]

That's true!

[@HiFiInsider]

oh... I wish we connected. I'm in Bay Area as well. Hopefully next time.

[@TysonHugie]

I don't have any contact for you, not sure how we would have!

[@HiFiInsider]

@@TysonHugie I will email you my info. :)

[@integrafreak1]

That’s amazing! I’m sorry, I would’ve definitely asked for the floor mats. Maybe even offer him a high dollar amount.

[@TysonHugie]

Haha, I did already find another used set but Ron's are in better condition. I'll hit him up again in the future.

[@rushmatic]

This is automotive archeology at its finest. Thank you for documenting and preserving this historically significant information!!!

[@TysonHugie]

Absolutely! I hope Acura HQ takes a similar approach for the 40th anniv!

[@brockwayengineering7240]

Great story! 👍

[@TysonHugie]

Thanks Eric!

[@addiewinnie]

Love this!!!

[@TysonHugie]

Thank you!

[@douglasdowns4846]

I am sure Ron doesn't realize how how important those floor mats are and how nice it would be if they were back on the floor of the Legend.😉

[@TysonHugie]

Haha I know!

[@sziii8417]

This is a really good story. I love your t-shirt in this video. Simple. Have you ever thought about signing that shirt or another one similar, and raffle it off? Contest or something else? Ebay auction?

[@TysonHugie]

A friend gave me that shirt! I'm not sure where it came from. I don't think anyone really wants my signature that badly, haha

[@gameofrome13]

Great story on a tried and tested car brand ( Acura/Honda) for a car to serve you for over 3 decades is a testament to the brand and to enthusiast who care for them! Tyson I'm sure you'll add another 3 decades of life to this one!!

[@TysonHugie]

Thanks sir, means a lot!

[@horseman942]

So cool

[@TysonHugie]

Thank you!

[@originalblackplate]

Amazing you two got to connect. So glad that worked out! Also great to see you on another whirlwind trip!

[@TysonHugie]

Likewise!

[@davidboyce6427]

If an American Airline aircraft mechanic loves the ACURA brand that reinforces my hunch I’ve got a Kick Ass Car👍. And he use to own a CUTLASS 442👀

[@TysonHugie]

Definitely! I agree!
